Multi-State Button

This button is really a series of two or more buttons, arranged in a column, row, or grid. Each button represents an integer-valued state. Each state defines two styles for a button: the selected style, and the unselected style. Each button is automatically displayed with the correct style based on the current state (the value of Indicator Value). When a button is pressed, its state's value is written to the Control Value.

To configure a Multi-State Button, simply drag a tag that represents your state onto the Multi-State Button. This will bind both the Control Value and Indicator Value to that tag. Now open up the Multi-State Button customizer, and define your states: their order, values and styles. Lastly choose if you want the buttons to be a column, row, or grid by setting the Display Style property.
